We’re Taking Reading Group Choices on a Little Free Library Tour!

One of my favorite things about Little Free Libraries is that you never know what you’ll discover. Sometimes it’s the perfect beach read. Sometimes it’s a forgotten classic.

We’ll be sharing photos and clues along the way on Facebook,
